Woodlands Art League's next General Meeting is this Saturday, September 7th, beginning at 10 a.m. There will be a short business meeting followed by a demonstration/ program. A message from the President Hello Artist of WAL!
Well, Summer is winding down and Fall is on the way – and it’s about time! It’s hot out here!! I hope you have had a great Summer break and are ready to do some great art! Things are cranking back up at WAL after a short break. I wanted to take the opportunity to write you and tell you about some events and happenings around our “league”! I’d like to encourage you to make plans to attend our September meeting on September 7th. The meeting will start at 10:00 AM and we will have a demo starting at 11:00. We would like to devote this meeting to planning for the next year. What would you like us to look at doing? What workshops would you like to see us host? Our art league is only as successful as our members make it, so your input is important! We look forward to seeing you there on September 7th. I have always believed that the strength of any non-profit is the volunteers that we have. We have many volunteers that work tirelessly to keep our group running. If we do not have volunteers to work on committees, projects, and programs, we are lost and won’t be able to make it. Along that line, we are looking for volunteers to fill some vacancies. This is a great opportunity for some members to step up and help make a difference within our art league. We need someone to take over the Exhibits. This is an important job that work with other volunteers to set up and take down our exhibits at the Hyatt House and at South County Community Center. The position also helps with the art shows we have each year. You won’t be doing this alone, because we have several volunteers who will assist you. We need you to help coordinate them! This position also has a seat on the Board of Directors. The pay is zero – but the work is rewarding and makes a difference by getting our art out in the public! Contact me if your interested! I hope to see you at the September 7th meeting! Until then, stay out of the sun and keep those art utensils moving!! Blessings,
